State actors are involved in disappearances in Mexico at an "alarming" rate, according to a new report from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR). The comprehensive investigation presents findings on Mexico's ongoing crisis of disappearances, where more than 130,000 people have gone missing.

The majority of these disappearances have occurred over the past 20 years, coinciding with the period since the Mexican government declared its war on drug cartels. The IACHR report suggests a troubling pattern of involvement by state officials in these cases.

The human rights organization warns of what it describes as "deep collusion" between criminal organizations and government officials in certain parts of the country. This collaboration appears to be contributing to the scale and persistence of the disappearance crisis.

Mexico has struggled with widespread violence and human rights violations amid its prolonged conflict with organized crime groups. The disappearance of individuals has become one of the most persistent and tragic aspects of this broader security crisis.

The IACHR investigation represents one of the most comprehensive examinations to date of state involvement in forced disappearances across Mexico. The findings add to growing documentation of human rights violations during Mexico's anti-cartel campaign.
